In an unexpected turn of events, outraged locals took drastic measures after catching a motorbike thief in their neighborhood.
The thief, who had attempted to steal a motorbike parked outside a residence in the early hours of the morning, was apprehended by a furious crowd.
Eyewitnesses reported that after the bike owner raised the alarm, nearby residents quickly converged on the scene, capturing the thief before he could flee.
In a dramatic act of retribution, the thief was dragged to a nearby gutter filled with trash and stagnant water.
He was then coerced into swimming in the filthy water as a harsh warning to deter others from similar criminal behavior.
